The Joint Forces are forces consisting of the Southern Giants Brigades led by the Presidential Council member Abdulrahman Al-Muharrami, and the National Resistance led by Tariq Saleh, the nephew of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh.

Notably, the opening of roads in Al-Dhalea and Taiz comes one day after the Houthis announced the opening of the Fifty-Sixty Road in Taiz "unilaterally".

Intense discussions led by the UN Envoy to Yemen took place in Muscat, Oman, in recent weeks, to try to open the main road in the city of Taiz and other governorates.

The Houthis continue to reject proposals to open roads in Taiz and the rest of the governorates, according to informed sources.
